Did you know?
Nicknamed “the wind-sheltered one”, it is the only commune perched above the valley floor of the Vallouise, on a plateau sheltered from the prevailing winds, facing the Barre des Écrins (4,102 m) and the Pelvoux.
The site had been identified as early as the 1930s for a resort… but Serre Chevalier was finally chosen, the village being judged too hard to reach. The resort only opened in 1968.

✍️ Our view of Puy-Saint-Vincent

A resort on a human scale, Puy-Saint-Vincent prides itself on the quality of its welcome and its closeness rather than on impressive figures. Its 75 km of runs are ideal for a stay of 3 to 4 days, especially with family or for skiers who don't need to constantly renew their playground. Puy-Saint-Vincent has kept the identity of an authentic mountain village, far from the concrete resorts of the 1970s. People come here for the clean air, the unspoilt landscapes and a friendly atmosphere that stands apart from the industrialisation of skiing in some large ski areas. With a summit at 2,700 m and a village at 1,400 m, snow cover at Puy-Saint-Vincent is generally reliable from January to the end of March. A few exceptionally mild winters can create tension early in the season, but the situation recovers quickly with the first significant snowfalls. The 42€ day lift pass places Puy-Saint-Vincent in the intermediate category on budget: neither cheap nor exorbitant. The quality of the ski area and its facilities justifies the price for most skiers. In short: Puy-Saint-Vincent keeps its promises. A Southern Alps resort that will suit the majority of profiles without disappointing.
